Demon Lover

I hate Robert Nelson.

A man too aware of his good looks and privilege for either to do him any good.

I never paid him any attention. Until he broke into my bookstore after midnight, his eyes glazed with a wicked light I’d never seen before.

He claims to be possessed by Arkis, an incubus demon.

I’m willing to go along with whatever drunken delusion he’s come up with if it will get him out of my shop, but he seems determined to make me the pawn in a twisted game of seduction.

A millennium can go by in a second if you sail the cosmos, but there’s nothing quite like the carnality of a human form.

The peon city called Newsprings dabbles in spirit world mediumship and other arcane fascinations, and it was my dependable stroke of luck that they attempted to open a portal on Hallow’s Eve, the day of the dead and in my case, the very undead and bored.

I landed myself a handsome idiot to ride around in. A form that seemed to impress everyone except Jamie, the sexy owner of The Page Sage bookstore.

A woman turned to stone from having escaped into too many paperback worlds.

I couldn’t resist the challenge.

Her oversized clothing and attitude are but distracting armor to the treasure of a wild beauty I will stop at nothing to claim.
